must stop visiting sprintGeneral

okay so today i yet again, whipped out my instinct, it ****ed up, so i drove down the street to the sprint store and drooled at the moment again... i almost whipped out my card and used my update... i HAVE to stop doing this cause i just feel it's too late to just now be buying into this phone when i only get an upgrade every 2 years...

does anyone think that ATLEAST the moment w/ TV chip will be announced at CTIA... i mean at the least... i neeed a new phone but i don't wanna be stuck behind when i'm in the last part of my contract, i want the n1 or supersonic or something that in two years will still be, if not the latest firmware, atleast cared for in someway.

"every 2 years"?

Having an Instinct with the Everything plan on Sprint you are considered a Premier customer and entitled to get a new phone 'every year' if you desire. (opps, did I make another reference to the HTC Desire again! drool).

I too had the lackluster Instinct from June 2008 until the HTC Hero was launched in October 2009. I paid the same price for for the Hero as a new customer only having been on Sprint for 15 months. So, as a Premier customer, you

How many people on the family plan? If it's just 2 and you're on the Everything Data 1500 ($129.99), and the early upgrade is something that both lines want, it would be $10/month more (less if you have a corp discount) to put each line on an Everything Data 450 plan ($69.99 each, or $139.98), which would make both lines eligible for early upgrades. Of course, if there's more than 2 on the plan, it may not make much sense to do that.

I thought that the Moment with the DTV chip was only available in beta test form for the D.C. area? It sounds cool, but the one drawback is that it's the same ol' Moment without a Snapdragon CPU - so it won't have the full Adobe Flash. (If Flash ever spills out of the pipe-dream.)

The moment does not have a snapdragon cpu, it's ARM.
also, it's already been announced that the moment and the hero both with not be receiving the new flash.

You know that you can change which line is considered the primary, right? It's not locked in stone that it is the first one activated, it can be changed at any time (but you can't bounce it from one line to the next every 3 months to get early upgrades on each, the system does track that). So if the "primary" line is, say, your mom, who really could care less what phone they have (or would be fine taking your "old" one every 12 months), just contact Sprint and ask them to change the primary line. It takes about 2 months for the upgrade discount to update, but after that, you're all set.

ughhh i wish i could do that, my dad is set to primary right now, i doubt he'll give that up lol, he likes new tech too much as well i just wish i'd get SOME disscount every 12 cause then it wouldn't be so bad, even if were only $50 mail in rebate instead of $150... i just think paying 500-600 for a phone that only cost 150-200 to make is rediculous
